Product Safety Warning: Further warning regarding circulating pumps

May 1, 2026

The Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (CCPC) is issuing a product safety warning for certain circulating pumps which may pose a risk of electrocution to tradespeople.

This warning follows a recent CCPC product safety information notice regarding a number of Tucson circulating pumps. Details of that notice and the Tucson product replacement programme are available at: Product Safety Information Notice on Tucson 5m, 6m and 8m circulating pumps – CCPC Consumers.

The CCPC has received reports of other circulating pumps that may have the same or similar electrical coupling as the one on affected Tucson pumps above, and therefore, may present the same risk of electrocution.

In line with the precautionary principle and to avoid potential harm, the CCPC is carrying out this early intervention by making all traders and tradespeople aware of this potential risk.

The warning relates to the following circulating pumps:

1. Katsu Tools, Model: Star 25/
2. Embrass Peerless, Model: Eclipse CFA-25-50
3. THS Thermostyle, Model: THS RS25/6 EAQ
4. Boiler M8, Model: Boiler M8 RS25/6 EAZ
5. Suntask, Model: Star A PUM-STAR15/6A
6. IBO, Models: Beta 25-60/130 and IBO MAGI 25-60/130 and IBO MAGI 25-80/180
7. Intertrade, Model: INTERTRADE 6 metre head circulation pump (Type R S25/6EAQ)

The CCPC has contacted the companies that produce these pumps to bring the reports to their attention. Any company that becomes aware of a potential safety risk with their product is legally obligated to take immediate action.

The CCPC is advising tradespeople to exercise caution when working on heating systems that use these circulating pumps. Consumers are advised to do nothing at this stage, while investigations are ongoing to establish if the products meet product safety requirements.

This notice will be updated with further information as it becomes available.

Update 06.11.2025:

With the full and swift cooperation of the relevant economic operators, the CCPC has concluded that the Archergas Model 15-60/130, the Lowara Models Ecocirc and Ecocirc+ and the current version of the BritTherm P2 25/5 circulating pumps are not affected by the Product Safety Warning and have been removed from the list of potentially affected circulating pumps.

Update 02.04.2026:

For clarification, the specific model reference number CFA25-60-130 E was added to the AquaPro RS 25/6 EAA listing.
